Following the speaker, Register and Richardson will present the diplomas and the evening will conclude with Shanderica Carr leading the Alma Mater and Will Cobb calling for the Changing of Tassel.

It is very important to Seminole County Middle/High School to make this a memorable event for all graduates and their families. The graduation exercises are to honor the graduates. Therefore, school officials ask that all parents and family members honor this event by following the Etiquette for Seminole County High School Graduation guidelines listed on page 9 in this edition.

Because of limited seating capacity, the school is issuing graduation tickets to graduates. This will insure that immediate family members will have a seat in the gym for the ceremony. Each graduate will receive 14 tickets for those wishing to attend the ceremony in the gym. Others without tickets may view the live stream in the cafeteria. Tickets will be distributed to the Seniors on Thursday, May 16th during homeroom.

All attendees must enter the ceremony through the gym lobby doors. These doors will be opened at 6:30 p.m. and close at 7:20 p.m. No one will be allowed to enter the gym after the doors are closed. No balloons will be allowed in the gym.
